SamGaming's SpaceShip One

[cathastail]

Hi guys, me again!

This craft is from about two months ago, I was having one of my crazy brain-storms and saw that SpaceShip Two had completed a successful burn again! I basically started with the parasite air/spacecraft, i then built the mothership attached above it. It took a lot of testing to figure out the best way to be able to get the maximum Delta V out of the configuration i had chosen. BUT FINALLY! I triumphed and the air/spacecraft is capable of getting into at least a 300km circular orbit, the parasite aircraft has, and can, complete a full un-powered landing but unfortunately in the first publicised flight it crashed dramatically. The mothership is redundant after "dropping" because it is un-piloted and unstable on it's own. It usually floats harmlessly back to the sea a few km in front of the KSC.

P.S. Work is starting on a "SpaceShip Two" and will be shown publicly within a few weeks, i am tied up with coursework and exam revision but yes, it will make an appearance soon!

See You Later!
